Lester Douglas
Resource Director
Hello New West Parents and Students! My name is Lester Douglas and this is my sixth year at New West Charter. I oversee the Resource Programs at New West across all grade levels including NWC+. I was originally the High School Resource teacher for my first three years at New West.
I became a Resource Teacher as I wanted to give something back for those who helped me through my early years of Academics. I still remember Mr. Long, my first-grade teacher, who encouraged my love of math and first introduced me to a computer (well before they were a staple in every household).
I have been married for over ten years to my wife Leah and we have two wonderful daughters, Sofia and Emma.
When I am not working, I spend most of my free time with my family doing outdoor activities and occasionally I get out to play a round of golf. I am a dedicated Vikings and Dodgers fan.
